Was there enough information in the O.T. to identify the Messiah when He came on the scene? There is certainly enough information in the scripture to know what signs lead to the final turn of events.

Having said that, one of those signs are mockers and scoffers who will tell you that all things are the same, nothing has changed, the sun comes up and it sets...just as everyday before it....blah, blah, blah...

I recommend the following:

Consecrate yourselves. Get your households in order. Purify yourselves and the Church  casting out apostates, wolves in sheep clothing, and those living in unrepentant sin in your midst. Wake up  Bride of Christ  cease living as though tomorrow is just the same as yesterday. Tell everyone of the coming wrath. If they will not listen, shake the dust off your sandals and move on quickly. Leave the calling out to the LORD. Do not fear; be of great courage and boldness. Pray for there to be ears to hear and eyes to see .the Truth. Thy Word is Truth. Prepare the way of the LORD. Praise the Worthy Lamb, for His Kingdom is near.

the one clue scripture gives, is the times will be like the days of Noah. Today would fit that just right. Church membership is at one of the lowest since who knows when. Church leaders are mocked, and the church itself (all denominations) are subject to jokes and ridicule.

Surely. Hebrew Custom is that the Earth will last 6000 years. So you just google Jewish Calendar and subtract the current Jewish year from 6000 and you’ll get approximately the answer you’re looking for. Since neither you nor I will be around by then, our “end of the world” will have already occurred and it won’t matter. (6000-5768=232 more years) (give or take)

You just don’t have the right biblical prophecy decryption algorithm, but I am willing to sell you mine now that I’ve decrypted the entire bible, Webster’s new abridged dictionary, and 2006 NFL rule book.
